Step 3: Using MAC Pro Paint Sticks—Delorme mixed "Pure White" with "Rich Purple" to get the high-voltage lavendar hue—blend the color all over your eyelid while making sure the smudged black liner still pops through.

Expert tip: According to Delorme, the key to keeping the look powerful and sophisticated (instead of cutesie) is to leave the liner a bit messy. "It should look like the girl doesn't know anything about makeup," he said.

Sounds simple enough, right?
